LTTS Exclusive Interview: Rick Hearst

Daytime TV actor Rick Hearst, best known for his work on General Hospital and The Bold & The Beautiful, spoke with LookToTheStars.org’s Misty Griffey about the causes important to him.

Why did you choose to support children’s based charities?

There are so many worthy causes. I feel that children are at the core of any philanthropic endeavor. Their education, care, healing, and support when realized gives other charities the hope that only can be ignited through the support and investment you give a child.

So it seems like children’s causes seem to really be of interest to you?

I feel that when you give a child something of value early in their life, you are planting a seed of humanity.

And how important do you think it is for celebrities to get involved in charity?

I think we as celebrities have access to media and publicity that serves us. If we only choose to take that for ourselves instead of utilize it for others, we will lose the purpose of why we have the good fortune we do.

Look To The Stars would like to thank Rick Hearst for taking the time to talk with us.
